Permanent botanicals source Lux-Art Silks International will add a new showroom in the IHFC for the April 20-25 High Point Furniture Market.
The company will exhibit in a 2,800-square-foot showroom in Space D244 of the International Home Furnishing Centers Design Center. It also will show one more time on the first floor of the C&D Building before closing that showroom to focus on the new IHFC space.
We have contemplated a move to the IHFC for quite a while, said Scott Brann, president of Sarasota, Fla.-based Lux-Art, which will participate in its 50 High Point Market this spring. Finding the right location was the key for us. Were now showing in an easy-to-access location on the second floor of the Design Center, surrounded by fabulous neighbors such as Global Views and Palecek.
Lux-Art completely remodeled its new showroom space in the IHFC for the April market.
We took up the floor to expose the polished cement, and we removed the glass walls so that the showroom opens directly into the hall," Brann said. "The space now has a friendly, open-air kind of feel that is very inviting.
At the April market, Lux-Art plans to introduce more than 150 new items, including new clean-lined contemporary designs and its first collection of succulents. The company sells its products through a mix of medium to high-end furniture stores and interior designers.
Were known for unmatched diversity, elegance and unrivaled realism, said Brann. The companys collections range from sleek and contemporary to stately and traditional. Designs include the understated chic of Urban Living; the bold, beautiful nature-inspired Fresh Cut; the sophisticated look of Classic; and the kick off your shoes beach-bum casual feel of Coastal.
Lux-Art makes a great addition to the growing community of home accent vendors in the Design Center and other wings of the IHFC, said Julie Messner, vice president of leasing for International Market Centers. They strengthen the IHFCs position as a must-visit source for furnishings and accessories across the entire style spectrum.
